In four weeks, voters will be going to the polls to choose America’s next president, and to cast their votes in many other local New Hampshire races.

Whether they've picked their presidential candidate or not, Granite Staters who spoke to News 9 said they are discouraged by what they've seen in this race.

“It's descended to a level of just lacking decency and respect, and it's time for it to be over,” said Michael Fedder, of Bedford.

“If I had to choose, I'd probably vote for myself,” said Manchester resident Jess Douglas.

“I'm 44 years old and I've never seen anything like this,” said Kimberly Boyd, of Manchester.

In what has become an unprecedented and polarizing election, many still haven't made up their minds.

“There's so many things that are controversial right now, I don't even know,” Boyd said. "I am so undecided.”

“I can't believe that these two people are actually candidates for president, and it's kind of scary for myself and everyone having to grow up with this,” Douglas said. “I don't understand it. Why is this happening?”

Those who have decided said there's nothing that could change their minds at this point.

“I'm more so looking at social issues,” said Adam Leggett. “I'm definitely looking at national security too and who I think's going to keep us safe in the long run.”

“To us, there's one candidate who's clearly prepared and fit for that and one who is not,” Fedder said.

Voters also said they're considering who they'll vote for in races down the ballot in New Hampshire, but are frustrated by partisan politics in the Senate and Congress.

Something voters all agree on: They're looking forward to the end of this election cycle.
